Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the same form of vitamin D your body naturally produces when your skin is exposed to sunlight. It enhances the absorption of calcium and phosphorus to support strong bones and teeth, and it also plays an important role in immune and muscle function. Vitamin D3 is considered the preferred form for maintaining healthy vitamin D levels.*

Vitamin D3 is generally considered the preferred form of vitamin D because research shows it is more effective at raising and maintaining healthy vitamin D levels in the blood than vitamin D2. Both forms support bone health and overall vitamin D status, but D3’s greater ability to sustain optimal levels is why it’s commonly recommended in supplements.*

Vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 work synergistically in the body. Vitamin D3 helps enhance calcium absorption and retention, while vitamin K2 helps direct that calcium into the areas where it’s needed most, such as bones and teeth, and away from soft tissues – where you don’t want excess calcium to build up.* For individuals supplementing with vitamin D, adding vitamin K2 can provide complementary support for bone and cardiovascular health. Whether you need to take both vitamins depends on a variety of individual health factors and is best discussed with your health-care provider. If you are taking blood-thinning medication, consult your health-care professional before using vitamin K-containing supplements.
